The synthesis and accumulation of chymotrypsin inhibitor I in tomato leaflets is induced by detachment, or by destruction of petiole phloem by steam when followed by incubation of the leaflets in light. The induction process with detached tomato leaflets is similar to that found with detached potato leaflets. The large amount of inhibitor I synthesized per leaflet cell per unit time suggests either that the structural gene is redundant or that an unusually stable messenger RNA is present. In both tomato and potato leaflets the accumulation of inhibitor I is potently inhibited by actinomycin D, puromycin, and cycloheximide, but not by chloramphenicol. Indoleacetic acid is moderately inhibitory, as is 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea. Glutamine and asparagine are both markedly stimulating. The cumulative data suggest that inhibitor I is a major depot or interim storage protein and that its existence in any particular tissue is under complex controls by both the internal and external environments of the plants. 相似文献

Physiological aspects of abscisic acid (ABA) as a drought signal directed specifically at guard cells are topical research foci. Most investigations concentrate on the importance of remote sources of ABA against the background knowledge that leaves are also a source of ABA. Foliar compartmentation of ABA and water-stress-induced release of cellular ABA into the apoplast imply additional levels of complexity. In the present study, we established that the pre-existing foliar ABA pool can be moved to guard cells. We detached leaflets of Vicia faba L. to eliminate an external source of ABA. The leaflets were then pretreated with cycloheximide (CHI), an inhibitor of protein biosynthesis that abolished ABA accumulation in the leaflets. Next, the leaflets were water stressed. After incubation, leaflets were snap-frozen and freeze-dried. Guard cells were individually dissected from the leaflets; such guard-cell samples contain both apoplastic and symplastic ABA. The ABA content of guard cells of CHI-treated, water-stressed leaflets was less than that of control water-stressed leaflets, but higher than that of control water-sufficient leaflets, indicating that guard cells are targets of intraleaf ABA redistribution under stress. 相似文献

The four different inhibitors or groups of inhibitors, called I, II, IV and V, which could be separated from the inhibitor β complex from peelings of resting potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum L., variety Majestic) by thin layer chromatography in chloroform: 96% acetic acid (95:5 v/v), stimulated the oxygen uptake of discs of potato tubers during the first 4 to 5 h after addition of the substances. Number I was less active, the other three more active. Furthermore II, IV, and V significantly inhibited the uptake of inorganic phosphate by potato discs measured 24 and 5 h after addition of the substances, so that they seem to be uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. 相似文献

Occurrence of hydroxylated jasmonic acids in leaflets of Solanum demissum plants grown under long- and short-day conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Under short-day (SD) conditions both 11-OH-jasmonic acid (11-OH-JA) and a smaller quantity of 12-OH-JA occurred in leaflets of Solanum demissum Lindl. Plants which had formed tubers. This is the first time that 11-OH-JA has been detected as a native substance in higher plants. Under long-day (LD) conditions no tubers were formed and none of these compounds were detectable. A positive correlation was found between the occurrence of 11-OH-JA and 12-OH-JA in leaflets of S. demissum and tuber formation, but a causal relation has yet to be proved. The (-)-JA content in leaflets was not significantly different under short and long days. Mild stress applied to detached SD and LD leaflets caused a rapid accumulation of JA in these leaflets. Upon this treatment an increase in the levels of hydroxylated JAs was detected in SD leaflets only.
JA was a potent promotor of tuber formation in vitro in S. demissum explants. Lipoxygenase (LOX: EC 1.13.11.12) is involved in the biosynthesis of JA. Under SD conditions, application of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), an inhibitor of LOX activity, to the roots did not prevent tuber formation in vivo. It is suggested that daylength controls the hydroxylation of JA. The enzyme(s), responsible for the hydroxylation of JA, would only be effective under SD conditions. 相似文献

Summary When young tomato plants were transferred from nutrient solution to mineral-free water, reductions in transpiration, water content of the shoots and stomatal aperture were not accompanied by a reduction in the relative water content or an increase in the suction pressure of the leaves. The relative water content of the leaves was increased and the suction pressure was little affected.Following transfer of the plants to mineral-free water, the mineral content of the shoots and the osmotic pressure of expressed leaf sap were reduced. It was concluded that mineral salts were necessary for maintaining the osmotic pressure of the leaf cell sap and that this was achieved, at least in part, by maintaining the mineral concentration of the sap. The amount of water that could be taken up by leaves and their turgor pressure were related to the osmotic pressure of the sap and calculations of turgor pressure showed that it was less in the leaves of plants with their roots in mineral-free water than in the leaves of plants in nutrient solution.Evidence was obtained that in leaflets detached from plants with their roots in mineral-free water, stomatal closure could occur at a higher water content than in leaflets detached from plants in nutrient solution, indicating a further role of minerals in leaf water relations. It is suggested that this role may be related to the properties of the cell walls. 相似文献

The appearance of a new molecular species of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and the rapid induction of CAM in Sedum telephium L. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract. When detached leaves of Sedum telephium are incubated in the absence of water, a rapid switch from C3 photosynthesis to CAM (as indicated by the onset of day-to-night fluctuations in titratable acidity. ΔH+ ) occurs within the first dark period. The C3 -CAM switch in intact plants occurs within 3 5d. Extractable activity of phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) increases five-fold in intact plants during CAM induction; however, during rapid CAM induction in detached leaves, there is only a very small increase in PEPC activity. Fractionation by anion exchange chromatography of crude extracts from leaves of intact plants subjected to water deficit shows that CAM induction is associated with the appearance of a molecular species of PEPC termed PEPC I. PEPC I is barely detectable in well-watered plants which are not performing CAM. The major form in these plants is termed PEPC II. In leaves from intact plants, there is a significant positive correlation between PEPC I activity and ΔH+ during a period of increasing water deficit. PEPC I exhibits day to night fluctuations in malate sensitivity, being less sensitive during the dark period. In contrast, PEPC II is more sensitive to inhibition by malate and has no day to night fluctuation in sensitivity. In detached leaves deprived of water, a small increase in PEPC I capacity is detected at the end of the first dark period (20 h after the start of treatment). The results suggest that PEPC I is required for attainment of maximum nocturnal malic acid synthesis. There is a significant correlation between leaf water status (relative water content), ΔH+ , total PEPC and PEPC I activity suggesting that the internal water status of the plant may be a trigger for CAM induction. Abscisic acid applied to detached leaves does not cause nocturnal acidification. 相似文献

Three isoinhibitors have been isolated to homogeneity from the C-serum of the latex of the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis clone RRIM 600, and named HPI-1, HPI-2a and HPI-2b. The three inhibitors share the same amino acid sequence (69 residues) but the masses of the three forms were determined to be 14,893+/-10, 7757+/-5, and 7565+/-5, respectively, indicating that post-translational modifications of the protein have occurred during latex collection. One adduct could be removed by reducing agents, and was determined to be glutathione, while the other adduct could not be removed by reducing agents and has not been identified. The N-termini of the inhibitor proteins were blocked by an acetylated Ala, but the complete amino acid sequence analysis of the deblocked inhibitors by Edman degradation of fragments from endopeptidase C digestion and mass spectrometry confirmed that the three isoinhibitors were derived from a single protein. The amino acid sequence of the protein differed at two positions from the sequence deduced from a cDNA reported in GenBank. The gene coding for the inhibitor is wound-inducible and is a member of the potato inhibitor I family of protease inhibitors. The inhibitor strongly inhibited subtilisin A, weakly inhibited trypsin, and did not inhibit chymotrypsin. The amino acid residues at the reactive site P(1) and P(1)(') were determined to be Gln45 and Asp46, respectively, residues rarely reported at the reactive site in potato inhibitor I family members. Comparison of amino acid sequences revealed that the HPI isoinhibitors shared from 33% to 55% identity (50-74% similarity) to inhibitors of the potato inhibitor I family. The properties of the isoinhibitors suggest that they may play a defensive role in the latex against pathogens and/or herbivores. 相似文献

In whole intact potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants, the gene families of class-I patatin and proteinase inhibitor II (Pin 2) are constitutively expressed in the tubers. However, they are also induced in detached potato leaves in the presence of light. To further characterize this light action, the detached leaves were subjected to monochromatic light of different wavelengths and to darkness in the presence of metabolites and inhibitors. Patatin genes could be induced by the simultaneous application of sucrose (sugars) and glutamine in darkness. Neither of these metabolites was active when supplied alone. When photosynthesis was blocked by 3-(3,4-Di-chlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (DCMU) in the light, patatin genes were not expressed; however, the inhibition was overcome in the presence of sucrose. This indicates that besides its role in photosynthetic carbohydrate production, light may be essential for the supply of amino acids (or reduced nitrogen). Unlike patatin, Pin 2 genes were, to a small extent, also active in darkness, and sucrose weakly enhanced this expression. However, DCMU did not affect Pin 2 expression in the light. Both abscisic acid and methyl jasmonate strongly promoted the accumulation of Pin 2 mRNA independent of the light conditions, indicating that the gene family is probably under hormonal control. The phytohormones did not affect patatin gene expression. Inhibitors of cytosolic (cycloheximide) and organellar (chloramphenicol) translation had opposite effects on the two gene families. Careful evaluation of the inhibitors' action indicates that protein synthesis (cytosol) is required for the expression of Pin 2 genes but not for the patatin genes. These results clearly demonstrate that, although in situ both gene families are constitutively expressed in the same plant organ (tuber) in intact plants, their expression is mediated by different factors.Abbreviations ABA

The contrasting role of auxin in submergence-induced petiole elongation in two species from frequently flooded wetlands 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The involvement of auxin in the submergence-induced petiole elongation has been investigated in Rumex palustris and Ranunculus sceleratus. Both wetland species are capable of enhanced petiole elongation upon submergence or treatment with exogenous ethylene (5μl l−1 ). Treatment of intact Rumex palustris plants with 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 10−4 M enhanced petiole elongation, while treatment with N -1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) had no effect on petiole elongation. The elongation response after NAA or NPA treatment was comparable for plants in both submerged and drained conditions. Pre-ageing of detached petioles of Rumex palustris for 3 h in light or in dark conditions had no effect on the submergence-induced elongation. In comparison to intact plants, detached petioles of Rumex palustris , with or without lamina, did not show significant differences in responsiveness to IAA between drained or submerged conditions. This was in contrast to Ranunculus sceleratus where submergence caused a clear increase in responsiveness towards IAA. Removal of the lamina, the putative source of auxin, or treatment with NPA did not hinder the submergence-induced elongation of detached Rumex palustris petioles, but severely inhibited elongation of detached Ranunculus sceleratus petioles. This inhibition could be restored by application of NAA, suggesting the specific involvement of auxin in the submergence response of Ranunculus sceleratus. It is concluded that, in contrast to Ranunculus sceleratus , auxin is probably not involved in the submergence-induced petiole elongation of Rumex palustris. 相似文献

Potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Homoptera: Aphididae), is an abundant potato pest and vector of potato leaf-roll virus and potato virus Y in Maine and other potato growing areas. We investigated the circadian rhythmicity of its movement towards host plant odor. Effects of daily cycle (day or night) and illumination (light or dark) on the proportion of aphids colonizing potato leaflets were determined in a Petri plate arena and in a Y-tube olfactometer. In Petri dishes, both daily cycle and light had a highly significant effect on plant colonization. Increasing temperature reduced aphid colonization of the leaflets. In the olfactometer, light had a significant effect on the proportion of aphids walking towards the host plant. Interaction between time and light was also statistically significant, with the effect of illumination being smaller during the day than during the night. Our results suggest that circadian rhythm in host-finding behavior of the potato aphid is regulated by both exogenous and endogenous mechanisms. 相似文献

A protein phylogenetic tree was constructed from 24 homologous proteinase inhibitor I sequences identified in the EMBUGenbank and Swiss-Prot databases and from translated amino acid data from four constitutive cDNA clones of proteinase inhibitor I characterized from potato tuber mRNA. The tree suggests that divergence of at least four paralogous proteins with functional specialization occurred at different times during the evolutionary history of the proteinase inhibitor I family. Five distinct regions in the primary structure, earlier identified by structural studies, were used to analyze the inhibitor family for hypervariability (Creighton and Darby, Trends Biochem Sci 14:319–324, 1989). Mutations did not occur with higher-than-random frequency within the proteinase binding region. When isoinhibitor, orthologous, or paralogous data subsets were subsequently analyzed the same results were obtained. Comparison of the amino acid sequences for all the known potato proteinase isoinhibitor I proteins identified ten highly variable sites. These also were distributed randomly. Thus hypervariability, which has been observed in all other serine proteinase inhibitor families to date, appears to be lacking in the proteinase inhibitor I family. 相似文献

The possible role of ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) in regulating thetoxicity of detached rice leaves induced by phosphinothricin (PPT) andmethionine sulfoximine (MSO), both known to be glutamine synthetase (GS)inhibitors, was studied. During 12 h of incubation, PPT and MSOinhibited GS activity, accumulated NH4
+ and inducedtoxicity of detached rice leaves in the light but not in darkness. PPT and MSOtreatments also resulted in an increase of ethylene production and ABA contentin a light dependent way. Addition of fluridone, an inhibitor of ABAbiosynthesis, reduced ABA content in rice leave but did not preventNH4
+ toxicity of rice leaves induced by PPT and MSO.Cobalt ion, an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis, affected PPT- andMSO-inducedtoxicity of detached rice leaves but had no effect on PPT- and MSO-inducedNH4
+ accumulation. Results suggest that ethylene but notABA may be responsible for PPT- and MSO-induced toxicity of detached riceleaves. 相似文献

Summary The main product of fermentation byKlebsiella
oxytoca is 2,3-butanediol. This organism also produces acetic acid, ethanol, and acetoin. In this report, product inhibition due to 2,3-butanediol and acetic acid is considered. Although the acetate ion has little effect on growth, acetic acid is a strong inhibitor. Acetic acid inhibits growth more strongly than it inhibits respiration. The neutral product 2,3-butanediol is not a strong inhibitor; its effect on growth is no more than is expected by the decrease in water activity it causes. The effect of 2,3-butanediol on respiration can also be explained by a decreased water activity. It appears that it is possible to accumulate as much as 130 g/L butanediol while as little as 0.45 g/L acetic acid completely inhibits growth. 相似文献

Four potato-blight fungicides (copper oxychloride, tetrachloroisophthalo-nitrile, zineb and fentin acetate) were formulated either by adding emulsions of paraffin wax or lanolin to solid fungicide dispersed in water, or by dissolving the fungicide in wax or lanolin and then emulsifying the solution; all emulsions were non-creaming and extremely stable. These formulations were compared in the laboratory with commercial wettable powders of the same fungicides for their ability to protect detached potato leaflets against infection by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary; in these and in other laboratory tests, the quality of rain-fastness, or tenacity, was involved directly or indirectly. Most of the wax or lanolin formulations gave better protection than the wettable powders. It is suggested that the wax and lanolin acted as viscous stickers, suitably increasing the rain-fastness of deposits on leaflets; and that when the fungicide was dissolved in the wax or lanolin before emulsification, the particle size of the dispersed fungicide was extremely small, a quality that increases biological action. 相似文献

Use of lysophosphatidylethanolamine, a natural lipid, to retard tomato leaf and fruit senescence 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We studied the influence of lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) on the pattern and rate of ethylene production and respiration of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum cv. H7155) leaflets and fruit. Leaflets that had been senescing on the plant showed a climacteric-like rise in ethylene production but not in respiration rate which decreased continuously with leaf age. Detached leaflets had a climacteric-like pattern in respiration whether they were incubated in complete darkness or in light. Detached leaflets incubated in the dark had higher rates of ethylene production and CO2 evolution than did light-incubated leaves. There was no change in the pattern of ethylene production or CO2 evolution as a result of LPE treatment. However, LPE-treated attached and detached leaflets had consistently lower rates of CO2 evolution. The reduction in CO2 evolution by LPE was most pronounced at the climacteric-like peak of the detached leaves. LPE-treated leaflets had a higher chlorophyll content and fresh weight and lower electrolyte leakage than the control. LPE-treated fruits had lower rates of ethylene and CO2 production than did the control. LPE-treated fruits also had higher pericarp firmness and lower electrolyte leakage than the control. The results of the present study provide evidence that LPE is able to retard senescence of attached leaves and detached leaves and tomato fruits. Several recent studies suggest that lysolipids can act in a specific manner as metabolic regulators. Our results suggest a specific role of lysolipid LPE in aging and senescence 相似文献

The light-induced increase in the activity of hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA: quinate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (CQT) in hypocotyls of etiolated buckwheat seedlings is not suppressed by aminooxy acetic acid, an inhibitor of cinnamic acid formation in this tissue. Incubation of hypocotyls in 2 mmol l-1 trans-cinnamate in the dark does not increase CQT activity. Thus, trans-cinnamate does not appear to mediate the effect of light on CQT in buckwheat hypocotyls.Abbreviations AOA

Leaves detached from subterranean clover plants (Trifolium subterraneumL.), grown in solution cultures at different phosphorus levels,were placed in water and in phosphate solutions. Losses in totalchlorophyll (a+b) of leaves in water were greater the lowerthe previous phosphorus supply to the plants from which theywere detached. In comparable leaves placed in phosphate solutionschlorophyll was maintained at levels at least as high as inleaves from non-deficient plants. For the latter there wereno differences between treated and untreated leaves. The differencesin colour change between treated and untreated leaves, therefore,increased with the deficiency in the phosphorus supply to theplants from which the leaves were detached, thus visibly reflectingtheir phosphorus status. A light intensity of 300 ft c (27 lx) or higher was necessaryfor maximum differences in leaf colour between treated and untreatedleaves, mainly because lower light levels reduced chlorophylllosses from leaves in water. Differences in colour between treated and untreated deficientleaves decreased with their age. However, valid comparisonsbetween treated and untreated leaf tissue could be ensured bythe use of treated and untreated leaflets. It is suggested that the results provide the basis for a simple,direct and visual diagnostic method, requiring no laboratoryequipment.

Triphenyl(phenylthio)tin and triphenyl(p-chlorophenylthio)tin were as effective as fentin acetate in controlling potato blight (Phytophthora infestans) in laboratory tests on detached leaflets. Diphenyltin dichloride and bis(triphenyltin)sulphide were moderately effective. Dibenzyltin and some diphenyltin compounds were ineffective. A small change in the bioassay conditions, bringing them slightly closer to field conditions, increased the relative effectiveness of bis(triphenyltin)-sulphide, making it about one-quarter as effective as fentin acetate; however, the change did not increase the relative effectiveness of triphenyl(phenylthio)tin or dibutyltin diacetate. 相似文献

In this study, the protective effect of red light against the brown spot disease caused by the fungus Bipolaris oryzae in rice was investigated. Lesion formation was significantly inhibited on detached leaves that were inoculated with B. oryzae and kept under red for 48 h, but it was not inhibited when the leaves were kept under natural light or in the dark. The protective effect was also observed in intact rice plants inoculated with B. oryzae; the plants survived under red light, but most of them were killed by infection under natural light or dark condition. Red light did not affect fungal infection in onion epidermis cells or heat‐shocked leaves of rice, and it did not affect cellulose digestion ability; this suggested that the protective effect is due to red‐light‐induced resistance. In addition, the degree of protection increased as the red light dosage increased, regardless of the order of the red light and natural light period, indicating that red‐light‐induced resistance is time dependent. Feeding of detached leaves with a tryptophan decarboxylase inhibitor, s‐α‐fluoromethyltryptophan (0.1 mm ), for 24 h inhibited the development of resistance in response to red light irradiation. Suppression of resistance was also observed in leaves treated with a phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase inhibitor, α‐aminooxy acetic acid (0.5 mm ). These results suggest that the tryptophan and phenylpropanoid pathways are involved in the red‐light‐induced resistance of rice to B. oryzae. 相似文献
